Rex peered through the chaos duplicate's shocked eyeballs with a daunting smile.
It was dominating Rex throughout the battle.
As it was summoned with full stamina, in comparison to Rex who was already fatigued due to the mental vexation and physical harm he suffered, it was not shocking to see that the chaos duplicate managed to dominate him.
However, the thriving momentum had potentially become its downfall.
No, there was simply no chance that the chaos duplicate could anticipate Rex's sudden blow.
Crash!
Landing on the ground roughly, blowing a cloud of dustâthe chaos duplicate reached for its chest, still in disbelief. Suffering such a powerful blow that penetrated him throughâits form was cracking like glass.
One could see chaos energy began to leave the chaos duplicate due to the hole in its chest.
Raising its gaze, it saw Rex catching back the Blood Devourer.
Upon closer inspection with squinted eyes, the chaos duplicate could see that there was an odd energy cloaking the blade of the Blood Devourer, on top of the red magic circle and the glowing runes.
It smelled like blood energy, but the air it emitted was nothing like blood energy.
A mix of the two one could say.
Similarly, Rex looked at the Blood Devourer as the smile on his face spread from ear to ear.
He managed to corrupt his own cursed energy with blood energy.
Many would consider this achievement a ground-breaking success, capable of giving a stun to the Witch of Chaos herself. Manipulating the very essence of cursed energy was deemed impossible by many.
It was not that everybody knew that it wasn't possible, but all Witches agreed upon that.
A Witch is extremely rare, even compared to an Awakened, a Witch is rarer.
Additionally, a Witch that possesses another source of energy like Rex is even scarcer.
Naturallyâit wasn't shocking that everyone thought that manipulating the essence of cursed energy was impossibleâas the number of entities capable of trying this was very few. Alsoâ there were even fewer entities amongst the Witches with Rex's level of control and access to an Origin-grade spell.
Rex knew that missing any of those components would cause him to fail in doing this.
But now that he succeeded, the result was fantastic.
In the last second before the Final of Life spell the chaos duplicate threw at him connects, he was able to finish the emulsion process and quickly threw the Blood Devourer. He hoped that it would at least cancel the spell out.
Contrary to his expectations, the Blood Devourer he threw pierced the spell and didn't stop.
Adorned in the new cursed energy, it pierced the chaos duplicate easily.
<The user's cursed energy has been temporarily altered to scarlet cursed energy!>
<All of the Blood Devourer's abilities have been amplified by 30%!>
<Congratulations on creating a new source of power untouched by the history of the world!>
Seeing the notifications, a wave of exhilaration hits him.
Remains smiling, Rex darted his eyes forward and asked, "You have more into you, right...?"
Upon hearing this, the chaos duplicate raised its eyebrows.
It observed Rex's aura soaringâresembling a flame fed with gasolineâgrowing more intense by the moment. Following that, Rex's eyes flashed fiercely as he added, "Because if you have nothing more to bring to the table, you're in serious trouble... you're really fucked,"
Fuming in anger, the chaos duplicate exploded with chaos energy.
Letting out a primal battle cry, it blasted powerfully toward Rex with immense killing intent.
If eyes could kill, Rex would've been annihilated ten times over by now.
Swoosh!
Seemingly unworried by the attack, Rex tilted his body slightly and dodged the attack easily.
Slash!
Making an uppercut motion with the Blood Devourerâhe severed the chaos duplicate's arm right off with a clean cut. The chaos duplicate was stunned, but it quickly snapped out of its daze and healed the severed limb in an instant.
By gathering chaos energy to its severed arm, it regrows back in no time.
Realizing that it was suddenly being outmatched by Rex, the chaos duplicate became frantic, abandoning its skills and fighting like a berserker. It knew nothing but to move forward andâattack, obliterating everything in its path without a pause.
On the other hand, Rex was completely unflustered.
Even though he had mostly fought with his claws these days, he was still skilled in weapons.
Despite veering from traditional weaponry, the years of military training ingrained within him remained a steadfast muscle memory, and that was shown clearly as he easily blocked and parried the chaos duplicate's desperate attacks.
In a matter of minutes, Rex turned the tide and made the chaos duplicate feel inferior to him.
Blurring and turning into purple beams, the chaos duplicate attacked Rex from all sides.
Each attack tries to find an openingâbut Rex doesn't seem to be having much trouble at all.
Landing ten meters awayâthe chaos duplicate garnered an intense amount of chaos energy into its claws before cracking the ground beneath, dashing towards Rex for another powerful strike to spark a reaction from him.
"Raarggghh!!"
CLANG!!
Instead of gaining a reaction, Rex perfectly blocked the attack with the same mocking smile.
Raising his gaze, he made two slashes to cut both of the chaos duplicate's arms.
Not stopping at that, he slashed the back of the knee, sending the poor copy into its knees.
Even though there was no hope of winning anymore from the bleak outlook of the battle, the chaos duplicate healed its wounds again and twisted its torso, delivering a cleaving swipe at Rex, who was standing behind.
Unlike before, the chaos duplicate poured everything into this attack casting another spell.
It was the same Arcane Spell, Final of Life.
Just the sight of the crack around the hole in its injured chest from Rex's earlier assault alone was enough to tell that it was giving everything, and in returnâRex also let out everything he had as a sinister mark reappeared again on his forehead.
Boom!!
In a thunderous clash that echoed throughout the creek, the two collided with titanic force.
A powerful shockwave rippling outward was created by the clash.
Under the sheer intensity of the collision that rents the air asunderâit cuts through towering trees like blades through paper. Splinters of wood erupted into the air as the shockwave was surging across the creek floor.
However, it didn't take long for the chaos duplicate to realize what had happened.
Despite its attempt to unleash every ounce of chaos energy that it has in its reserve fuel, the chaos duplicate found that its attack was stopped by Rex. He stopped the momentum as if it were nothing by grabbing ahold of the chaos duplicate's wrist.
Even the rampaging chaos energy was dispersed fully by him.
Slowly raising its gaze to meet with Rex's eyes, the chaos duplicate shivered in helplessness.
Now, the weird energy already spreads throughout Rex's form.
Additionallyâthis weird energy merges with the kingly energy that was pulsating from Rex's King Mark flawlesslyâreaching nigh-perfect synchrony. It now becomes a single power that propels Rex's power to a new height.
"Like I said before," Rex whispered with his chin held high. "You're no match for me anymore"
Upon hearing this, the chaos duplicate could only look at him in shock.
As Rex reached out both of his hands to grab the chaos duplicate's head, it didn't respond as it knew that there was nothing it could do to reverse the situation. Smiling savagely, Rex took ahold of its head, almost as if he was caressing it in a cruel embrace.
His fingers curled around it with deceptive tenderness.
Slowly, inexorably, his grip tightened, crushing bone and sinew with merciless force.
In a sickening burst of chaos, the chaos duplicate's form dissolved into ethereal strandsâthe instant its head was crushed. Rex shattered its entire form with the sheer brutality of his holdâa horrifying display of newfound power through his successful breakthrough.
Looking at the strands of chaos energy, he smiled, satisfaction reeling into his body.
"Go and carry this message to the Executor," Rex whispered, sending a clear message to the fading chaos duplicate in front of him. "I'm coming for him without failâand this fight of ours will only end with his brutal death at my hands..."
Swoosh...
Blown by the wind, the strands of chaos energy float away into the distance.
Immediately after, Rex exhaled roughly.
[Not much time left, Royal Black Prince. I may be able to help break the limiterâbut make no mistakeâit's only temporary, and the power of the world is not to be underestimated. Finish him before it's too late]
The Countess warned him of the existence of the thinning time he had left.
Despite managing to break the limiter with the Countess' divine energy, it was temporary.
Eventually, he would hit the absolute limit and be suppressed once again.
"If your divine energy had a time limit, then I'm quite sure the Executor also had a time limit," Rex replied with certainty in his voice. Just like he is, the Executor must be nearing his limit too. "Regardless, with this, I should be on par with him. Who knows? Maybe I could even kill him without needing to reach the ninth-epiphany,"
Looking down at his hands, Rex smiled in excitement despite his labored breath.
Corrupting his own cursed energy with blood energy was not the final product of his idea.
He endeavored to corrupt his cursed energy so that he could use his kingly energy and also his other sources of energy simultaneously. Earlier, he tested and realized that blood energy was not resisting as much against moonlight energy.
Due to that, he gained a brilliant idea.
If he could somehow corrupt his cursed energy with blood energy, it would be compliant.
His final product was to activate his cursed energy on top of his other energies.
As soon as he activated his King Mark once again, the immediate change was evident as the power coursing through him increased significantly. Rex couldn't be certain of how strong he had become, but the ease with which he dispatched the chaos duplicate when he was really struggling before hinted at a considerable increase in power.
Rex didn't break under pressure, he reveled in it and now became stronger because of it.
Nodding firmly as he vanquished his power to rest, he glanced over his shoulder.
Focusing on his acute senses, he could sense that the battle was heading his way.
Most of the Human Army managed to sprint ahead of his forces due to the chaos monsters, and each one of them was heading in the Executor's direction led by the Witch of Chaos. It was troublesome, but he couldn't focus on them anymore.
He would waste too much time trying to reach the ninth epiphany.
It would be best for him to aim directly at the Executor.
Meanwhile, about a mile deeper into the Dead Man's Creek was the Executor.
Sensing that the chaos duplicate was shatteredâhe could only grit his teeth and quicken his pace towards the Symposium. As he roams deeperâhe is met with not only the Passues but also the Shapeshifters that were stationed by Lyra.
A lot of them were mainly tampering with the terrain, making it harder for him to go on.
The Executor knew that they were stalling so that Rex could come to him.
Crash!
Out of nowhere, a huge body of dark earth wall appeared and blocked his way forward.
Judging from the several crashing sounds that followed after this dark earth wall appearedâ the Executor could tell that more of this dark earth wall was stacked behind it. Going through it would take a lot so he decided to maneuver over it.
Leaping over it was not an option as there were Shapeshifters standing on top of the walls.
It happened multiple times, and the Executor was forced to maneuver over all of them.
But as he was sprinting, a sudden realization hit his mind like a thunderbolt.
Scanning the surroundings to see where he was, the Executor frowned when he realized that he was nearing the center part of the Dead Man's Creek, "Aren't they making it too obvious? I can tell what they are doing"
Flaring with intense chaos energy, the Executor ridiculed the Shapeshifters inwardly.
"Don't think for once that you can fool me!" He roared.
Crash!
Making a sudden shift of direction, the Executor bolted towards the walls with heavy impact.
He shattered the walls and all the walls behind the first one.
